Ok thanks guys. Well I will see what happens in the next day or so.

With the LD disconnected I read about 8.7v. If I put 12 volts on the other end should it matter?

For my test Circuit I am using a 9 volt battery at 9.3 volts.

I have a situation with the driver I have where the Blu-ray Diode starts but instantly turns off. It I apply power to it and it briefly flashes and the is off with current to it. When I check the voltage across the load of the LD it is about 2.4 Volts. The Resistor is set and 33 ohms and the...

Thanks for the help guys.
